“A top aide to Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) said Tuesday that he would be “deeply disappointed” if Sarah Palin endorsed his Republican presidential rival Donald Trump.

Cruz communications director Rick Tyler unloaded on Trump during an interview on CNN’s “New Day” when asked if such an endorsement would be a “blow” to the Cruz campaign.

“I think it would be a blow to Sarah Palin, because Sarah Palin has been a champion of the conservative cause and if she was going to endorse Donald Trump, sadly she would be endorsing someone who’s held progressive views all their life on the sanctity of life, on marriage, on partial-birth abortion, he supported [the] TARP bailout — it goes on and on and on,” Tyler said.

“Donald Trump claims he’s changed all those views. But I think if it was Sarah Palin, let me just say I would be deeply disappointed,” Tyler added.”
